47 Manor Road

Early-C19 cottage, extended in the C21 (the C21 extension is excluded from the listing).

MATERIALS: the cottage is of brick under a tile roof, with cast iron windows to front and side.

PLAN: the original cottage is a simple rectangular block, now with extension to the rear (not included).

EXTERIOR: the cottage is of two storeys; its front elevation is a three bay range though the central upper window is blank. The central projecting porch has been rebuilt in brick. The front windows are in Gothick arched openings; each window is of cast iron with lattice casements and intersecting tracery to the upper sections. There is a brick dentil course at eaves level, and above a tile roof. The brick to the front elevation is in regular courses and there is a clear distinction between it and the brick used for the side and rear elevations.

To the south there is a blocked window with a cambered arch at first floor level, and two narrower Gothick windows in the rear portion of the building. Beyond this is the modern rear extension (this extension is excluded from the listing).

In the north elevation the original cottage has a C20 door opening at ground floor level and window above.

INTERIOR: the original portion of the cottage has two rooms on each floor either side of a central stair. Beneath the northern room is a cellar which has a barrel vaulted brick roof.

An upstairs room retains a cast iron fireplace.
